Deputy Governor Stephen Munania said the new outfit would not be providing the members with the last expense kitty of Sh100,000 which was in the agreement with the NHIF.
Munania said the last expense will not be accorded to persons above the age of 75 years.
“ Other goodies under Britam are students whose parents died get Sh25,000 upon production of death certification, wedding gift for newly married couple of Sh10,000 , baby gifts of Sh10,000,” said Munania.
Speaking when the county government entered into the agreement with Britam, Munania said they were forced to advertise for some services from the private sector to allow the 40,000 households to continue enjoying the benefits.
Britam Official Susan Nyambura said they will work hand in hand with the county government to provide effective services.
“Birth certificates of the children will enable provide Sh10,000 baby gift. The members will be educated on the partnership between Kang’ata Care and Britam,” said Nyambura
